The objections surrounding the Gadsden Purchase compared to the Louisiana Purchase were intense in some parts of the US. Many people compared it to Jefferson's Louisiana Purchase. The former cost 53 cents per acre which was 18 times more expensive than the latter. To top it off, the size of the Gadsden deal was 27 times smaller.
